As loyal readers know, Nanny's "eat five a day" mantra has been widely derided. Not least, because it transpired that the five portion advice was simply plucked from the air.

Anyhoo, taking a leaf from Donald Trump's book and doubling down when a lie/exaggeration is exposed, Nanny's chums from Imperial College have now stated that we should not be eating five a day but ten a day.

Allegedly this will stave off cancer, strokes, heart attacks and early death.

Ten portions are quantified as 800g.

Those of you who want to try this out can achieve Nanny's goal by increasing your intake of chips!

I dare say in a year or so Nanny will be advising us to eat twenty portions.

I see that, quite rightly, people are more than a little pissed off that suicide bomber Ronald Fiddler was released from "Gitmo" in 2004 after assurances as to his innocence from Middle East paid "expert" and champion of the EU Tony Blair.

To add salt to the wounds Nanny, at the time, paid Fiddler £1m compensation.

Now the question that needs answering is this, before Fiddler went and blew himself up what did he do with the money?

Did he spend it on fancy clothes, cars, booze?

Unlikely I think.

More probably most, or all of it, went to ISIS.

That being the case, Nanny is guilty of funding terrorism.

Fiddler's financial transactions since the receipt of the money need to be gone through with a fine tooth comb.

Oh dear, yet another staple food has been adjudged by "experts" to be dangerous.

This time rice is caught between Nanny's cross hairs, as it contains arsenic...apparently!

Millions of us are endangering our health by cooking rice incorrectly, scientists believe.

Small point, experts have long debated what level of arsenic is safe.
Chronic exposure to the toxin has been linked to a range of
health problems including developmental problems, heart disease,
diabetes and cancer.

The Telegraph reports that Prof Andy Meharg, from Queens University Belfast, tested
three ways of cooking rice for the BBC programme Trust Me, I’m a Doctor.

In the first, he used a ratio of two parts water to one part rice, where the water is “steamed out” during cooking.

In the second, with five parts water to one part rice, with the excess water washed off, levels of arsenic were almost halved.

In the third method, where the rice was soaked overnight, levels of the toxin were reduced by 80 per cent.

Right then, here's why this is bollocks:

1 Billions of people eat rice every day, yet do not seem to be dropping dead from arsenic poisoning.

2 White rice is treated in order to replace the nutrients lost when the
germ is removed, washing before cooking removes those nutrients and the
rice has no food value.

3 Over soaking, washing and cooking will turn the rice to clag.

4 Rice contains large amounts of starch, which is far more harmful to our bloated diabetic bodies than a small amount of arsenic.

5 As noted above, the "experts" can't agree on the safe levels of arsenic.

Nanny's chums from Sheffield council have been at war with local residents for some time now, over the council's decision to fell hundreds of trees.

Despite the objection of local residents, the council is of the view that the trees represent a health and safety hazard!

Back in November last year Sheffield City Council contractors began removing eight trees in Rustlings Road at 05:00 GMT on 17 November.

In a manner akin to the Gestapo, doors were knocked on and people were woken up and asked to move their cars so work could begin. Three people were arrested when they, not unreasonably, complained.

Move forward to the present day, and the council continue to arrest people who try to oppose the tree cutting. ITV reports that seven people were arrested yesterday.

However, Nanny is not going to change her plans and issued a somewhat irritated statement (akin to an angry headmistress talking down to her charges):

"The Council is very disappointed that this disruption of lawful
highway work is continuing. We have had the programme endorsed by the
Courts following legal action by the protest group but the disruption
continues to cause unnecessary delay. This delay and disruption is
likely to cost the Council Taxpayers of Sheffield a significant amount
of money.

Whilst we appreciate that some people have strong views about the
city’s trees, we must continue with works under the Streets Ahead
contract whilst ensuring the safety of site operatives and the general
public remain paramount at all times. In addition, the majority of
residents on Chippinghouse Road did not disagree with our proposals for
tree works on their road.

We want to reassure the people of Sheffield that every tree being
removed as part of the Streets Ahead programme will be replaced on a one
for one basis and ultimately, by the end of the contract, there will be
more street trees in Sheffield than before the contract commenced in
2012.”

Methinks there is more to this than admitted to by Nanny.

Hang on a minute, STAG suggest that the real issue is profit for a third party company:

"Previously, the Council had built up 30 years of agreements on street
trees, based on consultation with communities. These agreements were a
commitment to the people of Sheffield – after all, they are our trees.

When in 2012 the street management was outsourced to Amey, these
agreements were lost or ignored. Amey have a clear profit motive – if
they blitz the city’s trees in the first 5 years of their 25-year
contract, they can spend the next 20 years with much lower maintenance
costs."

Oh dear, thanks to nanny's war on sugar, it seems that various choccy bars (eg Kat,
Dairy Milk and Mars) will be shrunken in size by 20%.

For why?

In order to meet Nanny's targets on reducing sugar.

Had they not done this, the manufacturers might have been named and shamed by Public Health England.

Surely any publicity is good publicity?

Disregarding the manufacturers' apparent fear of PHE, there might be a wee catch in this for the hapless consumer, as yet none of the manufacturers have said that a 20% reduction in size will be a matched by a 20% reduction in price!

Nanny and her chums around the world (eg in the EU and India) have been doing their collective best to outlaw cash.

Nanny's official line is that cash is used by criminals and terrorists, and that they would be thwarted if they could only pay for things electronically.

That is of course utter bollocks!

Criminals and terrorists happily use electronic payments, as Nanny well knows.

Therefore why does Nanny want to ban cash?

Nanny wants control of your assets, if she forces everyone to use electronic payments she will be able to conduct forced bail ins of failing banks, levy one off wealth taxes on bank accounts and apply negative interest rates to prop up the banking system!
